For Sunday, March 27, 2005. Those with birthdays today: You have spunk and enthusiasm this year. Focus on getting what you want. You could be a terror if you don’t get it. Your determination, while admirable, could cause a backfire. Lose the battle if it means winning the war. You will often feel that what you want is just within your reach, only to discover that it slips out of your hands. Know when to back off and accept circumstances. If you are single, you will want to share your life with a significant other. The challenge will be mixing friendship with romance, which will be the recipe for a successful bond. If you are attached, think before you leap and make fast decisions for the two of you. Work as a team, as difficult as it might be.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

• Allow others to play into your plans. By giving up a need to control, you will find that your relationships flourish. One special person touches you in a special way. Anger could be the result of caring too much. Tonight: Say “yes” to another’s plans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

• Clear out an errand or several important phone calls. You will want your time free to visit with friends, some of whom feel that they are family. Loosen up and relax more. Don’t take someone’s challenge personally. Tonight: Go along with another’s plans.

• Use your creativity to open doors rather than slam them shut. You could assume an attitude that causes a problem. Lie back and consider what you need to do in order to relax on this special Sunday. Don’t push your limits. Tonight: Finish a project.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

• Move from the tried-and-true. Allow more fun into your life. Sometimes you take comments too personally. Listen to feedback from family, but also let more playfulness and caring into your life. Tonight: So what if tomorrow is Monday?

• Make calls and reach out to others early in the day. A chat could be very informative if you handle it during the day. Sometimes you might not have the control you would like. Others lose their temper. Just don’t be one of them. Tonight: Cocoon at home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

• Express what is on your mind, whether dealing with a difficult store manager or having a talk with a child. Your high energy could make someone very irritable. Tonight: Catch up on news over dinner.

• The Force is with you. Others sense your high magnetic energy; they also could be difficult or rebellious. Don’t allow a problem to start. Avoid black-and-white thinking in any case, even if those around you are rigid. Tonight: What would make you happy?

• Test out what you hear before you run with the information. Do your own research, if possible, reaching sound conclusions that work. Read the paper; make calls. Tonight: Curl up with a good book.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

• Friends happily join you in whatever you would like to do. Just don’t put yourself in the position of picking up the tab. You could be a bit put out or angry. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. Avoid a petty person.

• * News from a distance forces you to regroup and try another approach. You could be irritated and frustrated. Don’t let your anger shoot you in the foot. Tonight: Play with different sides of an issue.
